When The Trickster Starts A-Poking (Bordello Kind Of Guy) is a song by Gogol Bordello which appears as the first track on their album Multi Kontra Culti Vs. Irony. The song opens up with a pretty frantic accordion introduction which certainly would give a listener a feel for Gogol …

Sun And Steel is a song by Iron Maiden which appears on their album Piece Of Mind. The track opens up with a heavy guitar rhythm accompanied by the drums as well as Harris’ galloping bass line. The track is based on a Japanese essay and deals with the …

I have read several reviews of this album that state that this is the long-expected come-back album by Oasis. People make claims that, after releasing numerous second-rate and pointless albums Oasis have finally recorded an album which is as good as their 1995 hit album (What’s the story) Morning …

If I Had is a song by Eminem which appears on his album The Slim Shady LP. Opening up with a very laidback rhythm, I should mention right away that this rhythm is basically the feel that the song maintains throughout its entire duration. Unlike many of Eminem’s later …

Kellie Pickler pokes fun at a man who has dropped her for someone else only to realize that life isn’t as great as he thought it was going to be with the new girl. It is an awesome song for women who have been treated in exactly this same …

Oasis is a band that occupies a very special place in my heart. Their 1995 album, What’s the Story, Morning Glory was basically the first CD we ever had in our household, because back 1995 most people still listened to LPs, and so did we. That album is very …

Astronomy is a track which was originally written by the band Blue Oyster Cult but for this review I shall be reviewing the cover version which Metallica reordered and placed on their cover record, Garage. Inc. I’ll waste no time in this review and state right now that out …

I hear so much hype over Soulja boy. So many little kids run around singing, that “hop up out the bed song”, including my little cousins. At first I liked Soulja Boy, ever since he came out with his first song, “Crank that Soulja Boy”. I liked the beat …

I first heard about the group “A Perfect Circle” in my final years of high school. At that time I didn’t consider them as my favorite band, or even one of my favorites. However, I did love the few songs I heard from them which as the time …

Director: Francis Lawrence
“Emotion” is the third single and music video from Destiny’s Child’s third album titled “Survivor”, following the previous singles and music videos - “Survivor” and “Bootylicious”. “Emotion” is the laid-back, sentimental third single which one should expect from most R&B and …

I didn’t think it was really fair to go posting this album review after only one listen (after all, this is The Stooges we’re talking about, not Gwen Stefani or something). Incidentally, after first listening to this record my friend and I also indulged …

No air by Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown is a song that is beautiful to listen to. To me the words are intoxicating in the form of there meaning and to most that makes no sense what so ever. This song is like listening to water gushing from …

I’m So Tired is a track by The Beatles which appears on their self-titled album, or The White Album. Unlike the rest of the album, I’m So Tired is actually a very laid-back track, and as the name would imply, it has a very sleepy feel and tone to …

Another Animal is Godsmack with a different vocalist Whitfield Crane of Ugly Kid Joe. The style is somewhat different than Godsmack, this self titled 1997 debut from the band is released on Godsmack’s record label Universal/Republic, the vocals aren’t entirely different than Sully Erna’s but aren’t exactly the same, …

Blue Moon is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Self Portrait. The song is a cover so I’ll just focus on Dylan’s execution of the song. Right from the start you can hear that Dylan’s singing in more of his country croon rather than his …

House Burning Down is a song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience which appears on their record Electric Ladyland. The song opens up with an incredibly dramatic yet emotional sounding lead guitar solo from Jimi Hendrix before transitioning into the bulk of the song with a groovy rhythm and energetic …

Aaliyah
“Journey To The Past”
“Anastasia” Original Soundtrack
Atlantic Records
Ah, I’m not so quite sure what they were thinking when they made this video. Don’t get me wrong, Aaliyah does what she does best, it’s just this video that is not ‘at its best’. Is it me or do all music videos …

Will Young’s album Let it Go, which was released in UK, is an impressive set of songs that really do show his full singing talents, especially This Is Who I Am, which was featured as an iTunes Exclusive bonus track.
The album features the songs, Changes - 4:00, Grace - …

“Alice in Chains” was one of the biggest bands of the 1990s. Some people said that their music was grunge. However, I think that their music was much more than grunge, as some of those people only say that because the band originated in grunge rock capital of …

MYMP is a duo from the Philippines whose music is more of an accoustic type. The members include Juris, the female lead singer and Chin, the guitarist and sometimes he does some vocals. Their music is so relaxing.
In their debut album, they really catch the heart of so …

Let’s all be real, only teens and fangirls went crazy for One Direction. In reality, nobody takes their music seriously. They have been releasing numerous radio-candy songs but they’re all bad in quality. Not that radio-candy songs are automatically bad (see Katy Perry), but their songs have been tryhard …

The bees sang by Lee Ann Womack is a wonderful song. I have only heard it a couple of times but it is a really good song. It’s pretty and a country song but a little more upbeat than most country songs. I like singing to it and I …

“Temperature’s Rising” is the third single off of Mobb Deeps classic album “The Infamous”. The song is the seventh track on the album. “Temperature’s Rising” features backup vocals from singer Crystal Johnson, who sings the chorus and the outro of the song.
As far as beats go “Temperature’s Rising” has …

Overview —“ Machine Head, the sixth album released by Deep Purple, is the album that I would have to say is my favorite out of Deep Purple’s entire career. The album gains most of it’s recognition for being the album which has Smoke On The Water, a song which …

Overview —“ Welcome Home (Sanitarium), the second of what I would consider to be considered Metallica’s —˜ballads’ is the fourth track on Master Of Puppets. I know that Metallica was criticized for putting Fade To Black, their first ballad, on Ride The Lightning and this song is pretty much …

“Dad, do you know Taylor Swift?”
Aaron Dessner was asked this question by his eight-year-old daughter. Through the mouth of a baby she spoke the truth, because that day a musician from The National recorded one of the songs on “folklore”. “No” - Dessner brazenly deceived the child. The release …

One of my favorite song by Boston is the song Foreplay/Long time. It is off their debut album anf Foreplay is sort of an instrumental that eludes into the track Long time. I have to say Tom Sholz is a genius for writing that instrumental. He even recorded the …

Garth Brooks sings this song called More Than A Memory. This song is about a man trying to forget a girl friend that has broken up with him. He dose not want to admit that she was more than just a girl friend to him, that he was really …

The Hill Sheep is the second album released by Sledding With Tigers. Although I will say that some of the tracks on this album felt similar to some of the songs that were present on the band’s debut release, No Randy No, I can thankfully say that this album …

Lady Gaga is considered to be very weird by many. Her strange taste in clothing and makeup rub some people the wrong way. A lot of people think that she is trying to be something that she is not simply so that she can sell more records and more …

Rhyme Asylum is a British hip-hop group composed of rappers Possessed, Psiklone and Skirmish. Their debut album, State of Lunacy, a brilliant demonstration of true lyricism, was released in 2008.
State of Lunacy includes sixteen tracks, each one better than the last. Of all the songs on the album, …

I really do love Barbra Streisand: Till I Loved You CD, but the one thing I think of every time I listen to it is, ‘What the heck was she thinking?’ It all stems from the title song, a really wonderful, powerful yet tender love song called Till …

That’s Life, another fine, fine effort from the one and only Frank Sinatra. It’s quite a laid back track, but again the meaning behind the lyrics is very good.
How often do you have ups and downs in one year? How often do our aspirations and emotions change? All the …

Even though I live in a country far from America, I still admit that I am a really big country music fan. I know it’s kind of the “folk” song local to the United States, but there’s something about country music that I really love. I don’t know if …

Please is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on their album The Fragile. The track starts off with a heavy industrial sound and the synthesizers actually have a pretty interesting sound throughout this section in my opinion. Reznor comes in with the first verse pretty quickly as …

I had used Bearshare for years in downloading music but it seemed that they only have a few selections and seeders (people who share and upload) so my husband told me to switch to Limewire and just get the free version as it is still better then Bearshare.
When I …

Siva is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the second song on their debut release, Gish. Opening up with a rhythm guitar riff in the left channel, the riff soon goes on in both channels and the remaining instrumentation of the band enters as well. Right away, …

You can’t blame me for being excited, really you can’t. You can’t blame me for seeing a video of New Kids On the Block on the Today Show and being immediatly transformed back in time 15 years.
You cant blame me for drooling at the screen when they came out. …

One of the songs that catch my attention because of the introduction and the lyrics is King of Anything. Sara Barreilis is talking about how she is irritated with her lover. At first part, she was bored and count cars, which made me, laugh the first time I heard …

It has been quite some time since Diddy and Bad Boy have released a decent R&B album. With the loss of artists like Faith Evans and 112, many wondered if Bad Boy would ever regain its success of the mid 90’s. With his latest effort, making the …

I’m a person who has tended to gravitate to mostly different kinds of rock and electronic music ever since I was a teenager. However, that does not and has never stopped me from exploring other genres of music and having other favourite artistes from those same genres. Nevertheless, it …

The first Cam’ron cd which was titled “Confessions Of Fire” was released in 1998 after he had made appearences on many mixtapes and led him career off with songs like ” Horse And Carriage” featuring Mase (former best friend) and “Pimp’s A Pimp” featuring Jermine Dupri off So So …

“Not the Half Has Been Told” CD by Monica McCoy is one music album that uplifts my soul and spirit. The selections are filled with blessings! Each time I’d hear this music album it made me think that singing songs for Jesus is a worshipping experience. It is not …

I so love the song All Mixed Up by 311. Even though this is a song featured years back, I just could not forget the whole hype surrounding this song.
Truly awesome and I love the lyrics as well. Even though it laced at nothingness, the song …

I do not like listenning to a lot of modern day reggae music, and so since I generally do no follow this genre, I have no idea how long the reggae artiste “Khago” has been around. In fact, I only became aware of him recently when his song “Nah …

I myself do enjoy listening to several Christian hymns. Not always due to the fact that they are religious, but to the fact that I love the sounds of the music and the voices, it makes me very relaxed and calm. I have been looking all over the internet for …

Although I have never really been an ardent fan of Sarah McLachlan, I tend to listen to her music from time to time, especially in autumn, and when I’m feeling melancholic. In my opinion, she has released one brilliant album (”Fumbling Towards Ecstasy”), and several decent ones, including “Surfacing” …

R. Kelly
“U Saved Me”
Happy People/U Saved Me
Jive Records
R. Kelly delivers us the second and final single and music video from his double solo album “Happy People/U Saved Me” titled “U Saved Me”. I’m surprised R. Kelly cut this album’s music video lifespan short with only two of them (”Happy …
